Presuming you mean Verdun in Meuse department, the Mairie is:
Mairie de Verdun
11 rue du Président Poincaré
BP 80719
55107 Verdun
Tél : 03 29 83 44 22
Fax : 03 29 83 44 23

Also, if you search here:
http://www.patro.com/http://www.patro.com/
You will see the record come up. This is a pay-site; I have never signed up for it as I am not confident enough in my French to work out the system. It does confirm that the marriage was in Verdun proper, though, and not in some surrounding commune.
In addition, if you have access to an LDS centre, you may be able to order the microfilm and examine the record in person. Otherwise, it is not necessary to visit the Mairie in person (although it would be interesting if you get the chance!) - you can send them a letter. I have used this sort of format before:

It usually takes one to three months to hear back. I always include return postage (IRCs), but not cash (although it couldn't hurt to include a 5-euro note or something).
